A small hicktown in central Florida in Highlands County, closest to larger hicktowns such as Avon Park and Sebring.
It has a population of a little over 2,000, not including the massive amount of underpaid illegal Mexican migrant workers that come to pick oranges. Lake Placid prides itself in the fact that it has 30 named lakes.
There's absolutely nothing to do here, unless you like old people, oranges, caladiums, lakes, or Beef O Brady's.
Lake Placid has no WalMart, no movie theater, no mall (the closest GOOD one is two hours away), and nothing is open 24 hours.
Lake Placid High school is known for it's shitty football team and 23% dropout rate, and nothing else. The party scene is pretty much the only thing kids have to do. Teen pregnancy is huge here, with at least 15 girls pregnant during the 2007-2008 school year.

It was created to be a vacation town for the wealthy people of Lake Placid, NY, but eventually turned into a community of it's own. It was founded by the creator of the Dewey Decimal system.

Lake Placid is also a city in New York, and a shitty movie about a giant alligator.

Sebring kids: "There's a huge party going on in Lake Placid tonight. I hate those fucking redneck hicks, but let's go get us some free booze!"

Old people classify this town as being "The Most Interesting Town in America 2013" however for those without dementia sees this town as shithole with nothing to do but, founded by an old piece of shit who apparently has a thing for books.

Located in the armpit of Sebring (AKA a town you might have actually heard of) some of its "great" sight seeing involves shitting paintings on walls (AKA murals), a shit clown college, redneck haven lakes featuring Lake June's sandbar and Norhern. Lake Placids wealth and poverty can even compare to Detroits, with a school system so poor we can't even afford jock straps for the 13 players who show up or the 6 who are actually eligible to even play the game, by the way the last winning season we had was in 1989. Other features of the school includes: drug selling, emo kids (AKA patio bombers), sexual predators for teachers, and a new shop teacher for every 3 weeks. Apparently the saying "shooting for the stars" is not in any of the LPHS students dictionaries, as settling for South Florida State College is good enough for them, until they dropout after the first year and start working at the local Gate Station.

If you're interested in food, good luck our only export we have is oranges which is picked by the army of illegal aliens that migrate here. We have a whole new publix, McDonalds just got remodeled and Beef O' Brady's holds trivia night every Thursday night.

If you plan on staying here, you have signed a death wish.

Every football team ever: We have to play against Lake Placid, looks like a free W.
